Subject: Comments on Lueder Submission


I am still catching up on reviewing original submissions.  Here are some comment's on
Kit's submission.

The scope and focus of our project team is to define the requirements for the ebXML
work group effort.

Both requirements will be captured as different aspects of interoperability.  Your
question deals with scope, i.e., which requirements are we going to address within the
ebXML effort, and which will be addressed external to that effort.  I don't have any
immediate opinions on these two other than to offer that the appropriate project teams
are going to address the solutions.

This gets into the issue of how much interoperability we want to support with existing
XML initiatives, including those based on traditional EDI standards.

Again, we will capture the requirement.  It will be up to the appropriate project team
to recommend a solution.
